Ultra-Broadband Directional Coupler

December 1, 2012

KRYTAR (Sunnyvale, CA) recently introduced the Model 101050013 directional coupler, which performs over the ultrabroadband frequency range of 1.0 to 50.0 GHz. The single unit’s frequency range enables coupling (with respect to output) of 13 dB ±1.0 dB, frequency sensitivity of ±1.0 dB, and directivity of >10 dB. The directional coupler exhibits insertion loss (including coupled power) of less than 1.6 dB across the frequency range of 1.0 to 26.5 GHz, and less than 2.9 dB from 26.5 to 50 GHz. Maximum VSWR (any port) is 1.5 (1.0 to 26.5 GHz) and 1.8 (26.5 to 50 GHz), input power rating is 20W average and 3kW peak. The 2.5" (L) × 0.50" (W) × 0.65"(H) Model 101050013 weighs 2.0 ounces and comes with 2.4-mm SMA female connectors. Operating temperature is -54° to 85°C.
